I purchased ADX for IE a few days ago and downloaded recent version of it.
Version of ADXLoader: 6.0.3037.0

I create add-in (BHO) for IE, it is very basic at this moment. I have positive report fr om my client's test lab where they check it with Windows 7 x64 bit (probably default configuration). I had negative report from a end user. The end user had reported that our previous unmanaged BHO did not work with him (that's why we purchased ADX for .NET and tried to create version of the plugin with managed code). So the new ADX-drived BHO did not work.

I discovered that he had UAC slider at the "minimum" position. So I advised that he sets UAC to maximum (default position), reboot computer and reinstalled the plugin. He did all of that but did not help.

The logs look good, I paste them here for your convenience:

When I go to the "Manage Addons", we can see the BHO as addon, however it has empty cell in "Load time (sec)" column, indicated it hasn't been loaded. We don't have any other logs.

Rebooting computer does not help, system is up-to-date.

Can you advise please?

Hi Stan.

Please check if the "Enable third-party browser extensions" option is checked in Internet Options on the problematic PC.
